9 to 5

You tasted the porridge

Ran before the grizzlies took your life

But you tried to ignore it

The end that reads the corners of your mind?

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles

But all you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

You dug from the storage

A tapestry that could not weave to scale

Shoes stuck to the mortgage

Like zebra mussels sticking to the ship

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles

All you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to reaccess your life

All you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time
